Age-up Requirements {2002 - 2003}

2 0 0 2   -   2 0 0 3

In order to age-up your student character in preparation for the subsequent school year (or graduation), there are just a few small requirements that need to be met. Traditionally this was done by a post-count threshold (i.e. needed 50 posts during the school year to advance from First Year to Second Year, etc.), but this has since been discarded in favor of more realistic requirements. From there, the options have been expanded to include events outside of the initial classroom-only requirement. Age-up requirements serve as a means to help connect student characters as well as connect drivers within the MH community, using both IC and OOC events.

All schools require a sheet update, which should cover brief events of the previous term. The post requirement, however, may vary and is at the discretion of the respective School Admin.

As the current term winds down (either end of June or beginning of July playtime), a "call for updates" will be posted by the Administration, at which time drivers may begin to submit sheet updates - please do not submit updates before this announcement is posted. At that time, a hard deadline will be announced for sheet update submission and completed post requirements, which is generally at least two [2] weeks before the start of September playtime. School Admins may also tag or PM characters that have not yet met the age-up requirement at the time the first announcement is posted as a courtesy reminder.

To count towards the current age-up cycle (2002-2003 school year), the first eligible post must have been made on or after 11 February 2019 (first day of September 2002 playtime). Summer school events count towards the preceding school year, not for the upcoming one.

Characters that are Sorted at the end of the current school term or drivers with extenuating circumstances may or may not have the age-up requirements waived, again at the discretion of the respective School Admin. Please see below for the specific age-up requirements for each of the played schools.

If you have questions, please contact the appropriate School Admin:

• Hogwarts  ~  Olivia
• Beauxbatons  ~  Laura
• Durmstrang  ~  Dylan
• Koldovstoretz  ~  Daphne
• Ilvermorny  ~  Mel

As a note - while we are always open to feedback and to working with members who have extenuating circumstances, please be respectful and do not harass a School Admin about their specific age-up requirement. Thank you!

Two [2] posts + sheet update

For the post requirement, drivers may mix-and-match between several different IC and OOC options. They may also have both posts in one category, or even in the same thread. Choices include:

• Beginning of Term – post in main/starter thread or in spin-off thread
• Class posts – participate in any class from the current term
• Study Hall – threading out doing homework, practicing spells, meeting with a professor, etc.
• Quidditch threads – played-out match, practice, pick-up game, and/or spectating
• Student Position threads – students carry out Head Boy/Girl, Prefect, Quidditch Captain duties
• Mini-plot participation – post in main/starter thread (if applicable) or in spin-off thread
• Anniversary participation – Thread Thunderdome, Flashforward (from Anni 2019), etc.
• OOC holiday event participation – themed one-shots (Halloween 2019, etc.)
• End of Term – post in main/starter thread or in spin-off thread

Note: While BoT and EoT posts count as mini-plots for FPP bonus purposes, they do not double-count for age-up purposes - in other words, you still need two separate posts.
